Mayor Annise Parker Mayor issued proclamations at Houston City
Council recognizing the relief efforts of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints (LDS), NECHAMA Jewish Response to Disaster and
the Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church. These were the
three largest groups of volunteers that were instrumental in
assisting the areas most affected by the Memorial Day flooding.
These faith-based groups quickly organized their volunteers and
were some of the first volunteers on the scene lending a hand to
families that were struggling to recover from the Memorial Day
floods. In addition to local volunteers, many of the volunteers were
from outside the Houston area.
More volunteer groups are scheduled for recognition in the weeks
ahead.

The
proclamations for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
(LDS), NECHAMA Jewish Response to Disaster and the Texas Conference
of the United Methodist Church are ready for the ceremony. — in
